Worth it? Google follower section on blog...

I am pretty new to blogging and it has been a little overwhelming getting everything set up. I have heard rumors that Google is changing things that could affect how people follow blogs. Is it worth it to set up a Google follower section on your blog? What are your experiences? Thanks!

Are you on Blogger or Wordpress? Google is getting rid of Google Friend Connect in March except for Blogger blogs. If you have a blogger blog, it's a good thing to have but most non-Blogger users follow blogs through RSS feeds not GFC.
